Description

Tribalism is a part of human nature because it supported our ancient ancestors’ survival. It manifests when we identify with a particular group and then defend our group against those we consider outsiders. This tendency is primal and unconscious. It continues to contribute to some of the most destructive of human traits such as racism, xenophobia, religious intolerance, and other forms of bigotry.
Today, the word Tribalism has increasingly been used to describe the “us versus them” mentality that dominates our political culture. We don’t just disagree about policy anymore. We increasingly distrust and dislike members of the other tribe—to the point where neighbors, friends, and even families are afraid to talk with each other about politics. It is not healthy for our country. I am writing these essays because I fear that modern communication technologies are promoting political tribalism to the breaking point of our democracy.
Transcending means to rise above. Transcending Tribal Politics explores how human nature fuels our political divide—and how we may consciously work to overcome these divisions. The goal is to help conservatives and liberals better understand one another and communicate in ways that are not so destructive. This book is for those who would rather be part of the solution rather than part of the problem.
Through this writing, I hope to broaden perspectives and promote understanding. I believe in the power of knowledge to promote civility in our politics. The future of the United States may depend on it.
